Hello! It sounds like you're feeling a bit overwhelmed with your choices, but don't worry, there's definitely a pathway for you into healthcare even with your current A-level subjects. Here are some possibilities that could align with your interests and qualifications:
1. Health Informatics

Why: Your background in ICT, Maths, and Economics could be highly valuable in understanding how health systems operate, especially in data management, health policy, and technology integration in healthcare.

Courses: Look for degrees in Health Informatics, Medical Informatics, or Clinical Informatics.

2. Healthcare Management or Administration

Why: With Economics, you have a strong foundation for understanding the business side of healthcare. Management roles in hospitals, clinics, or even pharmaceutical companies could be very fitting.

Courses: Degrees in Healthcare Management, Health Policy and Management, or Public Health with a management focus.

3. Health Economics

Why: Directly aligning with your Economics A-level, this field looks at the allocation of health resources, cost-effectiveness of treatments, and health policy.

Courses: Health Economics, Economics of Health Care, or Public Health with a specialization in Health Economics.

4. Data Science in Healthcare

Why: With your Maths and ICT skills, you could analyze healthcare data to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, or contribute to medical research.

Courses: Data Science for Health, Biomedical Data Science, or any data-related degree with a health focus.
